Weitec Coilovers?

[Silverfire]

Anyone know if these are any good? Im not in need of a high end set i just want something that lowers my car a little more.
I can get my hands on a new set of the Weitec Hicon GT Coilovers for under 850$ total but cant find much info on these.

Tonnes of guys on vortex use Weitec, they are supposedly good but stiff

Their springs are not bad but the dampers are not up to the quality. At the end you’ll get what you paid for.

Honestly, I think most guys go for the Weitecs over the FK's anyway, so I wouldn't be too upset, you could try and upgrade to a better set of Weitecs maybe (I know cost is a major factor) but I think you'll be happy with them.

Edit: I've looked into these as well, there is a company in Quebec that sells them, he's been using them for rally and says they are bullet proof, I've also talked to a guy on Vortex that installed them on his 3 series and absolutely loves them.

If you think you'd be interested I could get you the shop and you could call them. I think they start around 800-900 and compared to a similar Weitec (with the helper spring for example) they run cheaper. One of the coolest things about them is that they are fully rebuildable in 20 minutes. Also, I think the helper spring and resevoir make running really low more tollerable (not as bone jarring).

Re: Weitec Coilovers?

Ok I FINALLY remembered. Here's the original link, there's a bunch of info in there. Don't let the 1500 scare you off I think they actually do a few different styles. Also, it looks like they are also TUV approved which is never a bad thing.

I'm actually looking to see if there is a place in Calgary also as they are quite popular among the Rally crowd now so a place like Guyons (if they are still around) may carry them.

Sorry for the delay it's been a bit crazy but hope that helps. Even if you just call and ask about them they are quite knowledgable.

Good luck!
